As this is the one most similar to my real car,
excluding the '04 standard car because I dislike that skirt like body kit,
so I chose it to outrun the group C and GT cars in A-spec.
I brought any available parts for it and made some setup.
Using Racing Soft.
I maxed the front downforce to 20 and rear to 40-45 according to the track.
LSD was 20 / 34 / 20
Ride height 0 / 0
Spring rate 14.0 / 13.0
Rebound 8 / 8
Bound 7 / 7
Stabilizer 4 / 3
Camber -2.3 / -2.0
Toe -0.2 / 0
Brake 5 / 5

All assist off other than ABS on 1.

When under long full braking, both front tires became red hot gradually.
just like locking while ABS was off but not that rapidly. :ouch:
car could still barely turn in.

Besides, the front outer tire became red hot too when exiting the corner,
and sometimes in the middle too. :indiff:
The car understeered.
This can be found easily on Tsukuba.
and i am not turning the wheel too much which led both front tires become red, just the outer.

I felt so confused now. :guilty:
I tried to rise the car to the highest,
stiffened the front to the highest spring rate and stiffest damper,
made the front toe neg or pos.
All the above didn't help. :grumpy:
does anybody have a solution on this symptom?
 
Drop the rear lower than the nose by a bit, decrease front brake pressure, and drop rear spring rate by a bit. *should* fix it, but no promises.
 
Sounds like you're braking too late and pushing it too hard around the turn.

Try the car on fuji main straight or SSR7.
no matter how early you brake the front tires still red.

I never find this symptom on any other RWD cars except this.
